"Edmund Kean as Richard III" is an illustration by George Cruikshank, a renowned British caricaturist and book illustrator of the 19th century. The artwork depicts the celebrated actor Edmund Kean (1787–1833) in the role of Richard III, one of William Shakespeare's most complex and enthralling characters. Kean, known for his fiery and emotive performances, was one of the most famous tragedians of his time, and his portrayal of Richard III was particularly acclaimed for its intensity and psychological depth.

George Cruikshank, active during the same period, was widely recognized for his social and political satire, as well as for his illustrations for books, including works by Charles Dickens. His depiction of Kean as Richard III captures the actor's dramatic presence and the brooding nature of the character. The illustration not only serves as a testament to Kean's skill as a thespian but also reflects the artistic and cultural milieu of early 19th-century Britain.

This image is significant as it represents the intersection of visual art and theatrical performance, encapsulating the essence of a legendary actor's interpretation of a Shakespearean villain. It also offers insight into the popular visual culture of the time and the ways in which theatrical productions were commemorated and promoted.
